When we get in our cars to head off to work each morning, or to dinner or an event in the evening, we never think we’re going to be involved in a car accident.

And yet, most of us will be involved in at least one car accident in our driving lifetime. While some accidents are indeed unavoidable, most are caused by driver error – either you or the other driver involved in the crash!

Accidents in car parks are unfortunately common and in a lot of cases, they can be avoided.

When we go shopping, we tend to have other things on our mind. Perhaps the kids are screaming in the back seat of the car, or maybe you're trying to work out exactly what you need from the supermarket. Whatever it may be, there's no doubt that there's many potential distractions when it comes to navigating car parks.

At this time of the year, plenty of us are heading away on road trips with family and friends. It could be a nice trip an hour or two away, or a longer journey that will not only put pressure on you as the driver, but your car as well.
